Got this for the grandkids to play with, but they are still a little too young for it, but we happened to have a back yard barbecue and some of our guests had bored 2 & 3 year olds, so we broke out the tunnel. They took to it quickly and had a good time. This is soft and lightweight, made of parachute type fabric but we were not overly concerned they would damage it. The toy comes out of the pouch easily, and self-assembles. There's a coiled wire that wants to take its shape. Putting it away is another matter, you need to twist it in different directions, and if you do it properly, it coils right back up and takes no space. Unfortunately for me, its either a knack you have or you dont. I have been using items like this for decades and always struggle putting them away. Its very frustrating, and this was no different. My daughter however, 'gets it' and was able to fold it back up in one minute. Nice, inexpensive toy. It is perfect for occasional use, but wont last long enough to be handed down.
